Design Methodology of Sliders Used in Laminating Tools for Decorative Products

The paper presents a design methodology for a slider assembly from tools used in laminating process of decorative parts with big curvature and negative draft. In usual cases are used a single active part to laminate parts. For laminating process of this surface are designed a slider assembly with three active parts. All these three active parts have their own heating-cooling systems. That means a good temperature control in each point on surface. The results are a laminating process without scratches, signs or imperfections. In the paper are also presented the working method of slider assembly and all the main steps in design from concept direction to clash analysis.
